Ep 247: Why Internal Audit Should Lead the AI Charge w/ Shannon Urban (Hasbro)

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're joined by Shannon Urban, Chief Audit Executive at Hasbro.

In this episode, Shannon shares how she's leading her team through a major shift—reallocating about half of her full-time audit staff—and why that move is positioning her team for long-term impact. She also discusses how she's upskilling her team on AI and analytics and what conversations she's having with her peers on audit roundtables.

Shannon also shares how to build real credibility with the board—something that's been a theme in recent episodes and continues to be a critical topic for audit leaders.

Oh, and if you're watching on YouTube, don't miss a look at Shannon's office—arguably the coolest one we've seen on the show.

Be sure to connect with Shannon on LinkedIn.
